A little about me

Hi, I'm Bala. For most of my life I never felt I looked my best, and it weighed on my body and my mind. I trained hard, yet as a guy with a bigger frame I had little to show for it. Then I learnt how to eat, what to eat and in what order, and how and what to train. The results finally came, and with them came happiness and energy I had been missing for years.

Everything on this website is built from my own research over the last few years: videos, coaches and podcasts. What began as a way to pass the time became a positive obsession. I researched it, lived it, and kept refining it in real life, and the results have been tremendous. If I can change my story, so can you.

  • Years of research
  • Tested in real life
  • Always refining
